Jennifer Kabat’s THE EIGHTH MOON and NIGHTSHINING are forthcoming from Milkweed Editions in 2024 and 2025. Her essays are sweeping histories that interleave socialism, modernism and science with her own longing for a way to understand socialism and democracy today. Included in Best American Essays, her writing has also appeared in McSweeney’s, BOMB, The New York Review, Los Angeles Review of Books, The Believer, Virginia Quarterly Review, Granta and The White Review, among others. She frequently writes for Frieze and has contributed to artists’ monographs and museum catalogues including London’s Victoria & Albert museum.

NIGHTSHINING has been supported by a Silvers Foundation grant, and early research from the book was a finalist for Notting Hill Editions’ essay prize and subsequently published by Harper’s. THE EIGHTH MOON grew from an essay in Granta.
